A London cablegram says: Wal-ton-on-the-I-Iill,

In an evident attempt to assassinate

A Trenton, N. J., dispatch says:
Tho lower house of the New Jersey
legislature adopted, by a' vote of 46
to r the senate concurrent resolu
tion providing for woman suffrage.
The resolution will have to be
adopted again by next winter's legis
lature, and then at a special election
tho proposed amendment to tho con
stitution extending the franchise to
women will have to be submitted to
popular approval.
men voted in effect against the gov
ernor. "Yes, it looks as though the bill
were beaten," Mr. Wilson said, "but
it is not dead yet. It is perfectly
well known that the persons who are
exerting pressure to defeat this bill
are those who wish to control grand
juries because they want to break
the law, and the people of the state
will understand that abundantly be
fore I get through with it."
The president-elect said that if the
jury reform bill were defeated he
would consider that he was 'booked
to speak in tho primary campaign
next fall against assemblymen seek
ing renomination who had voted
against tho measure. The governor's
declarations caused a flurry of ex
citement in political circles.

A Trenton, N. J., dispatch, says:
Governor Wilson warned tho mem
bers of the legislature that-as presi
dent of the United States he would
fool privileged to come back even as
early as next week to light before
tho people of the state for pending
reforms. Mr. Wilson resigned the
governorship. Both houses hardly
had received his notice of resigna
tion when the assembly went on
record by an overwhelming vote
against pushing the jury reform bill
from first to second reading. This
bill had been urged particularly by
Mr. Wilson in his messages. It
would take away the power to draw
juries from the sheriffs, lodging it
with a commission appointed by the
governor.
Mr. Wilson regards the develop
ments as a breach of party discip
line. Ho believes, however, that the
principle of justice in this country
is at stako in the progress of select
ing juries, and he considers the is
sues so vital that he declared that
soon after his inauguration he might
deliver several speeches on this sub
ject before the people of northern

An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago says: Two local unions of
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers were sued by the
federal government under the Sher
man anti-trust law for alleged inter
ference with messages of the Postal
Telegraph-Cable company in inter
state commerce. Xocal unions Nos
9 and 134 are named aff defendants.
The suit is of peculiar interest be
cause an amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, adopted by
tho house at Washington, provides
that no part of the anti-trust ap
propriation shall be used to "prose
cute workingmen's organizations.
Several futile, attempts have been
made in congress in the last few
years to exempt labor unions from
the Sherman law.
As part of the labor war against
the telegraph company, the govern
ment charges officers and employes
of the unions with combining .and
conspiring through acts of violence
and depredations to injure the Postal
telegraph wires, to interfere with the
transmission of government and
commercial messages in interstate
commerce. The alleged interference
is declared to have been deliberate.
The government asks that the de
fendants be enjoined from obstruct
ing interstate and government mes
sages over the Postal, from: cutting,
burning or otherwise injuring its
telegraph, lines and from interfering
by threats', intimidation persuasion
or force, with employes or prospec
tive employes of the company. Pend-
iuB uuui uearmg tno petition pleads
for a temporary injunction against
the alleged unlawful acts.
A Springfield, 111., dispatch to the
bt. Louis Republic, says: Backed up
by a telegram from William J. Bryan
at Miami, Fla., Governor Dunne re
turned to Springfield from Chicago
declaring the democratic party will
sacrifice both United States senator
ships rather than surrender the lone
term to the republicans.
The governor's telegram from Mr
Bryan read: r
"The papers report the republi
cans demand the long term as the
only condition upon which they will
co-operate. I think it would be a
serious mistake to agree to that
The democrats aro entitled to the
lone term. Horror ii, u u Vie
